Nitric oxide is a powerful, broad spectrum antimicrobial agent that is naturally produced by the immune… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION: Globally, an estimated 322,000 individuals die from fire-related burn injuries each year. In the United States, 450,000 experience burns requiring hospitalization and 3,500 of these lead to fatal outcomes. A burn of 30% of total body area cancost as much as 200,000 in initial… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application proposes to build on the successful Phase I Picture Me Alcohol Free (PMAF) feasibility pilot study. PMAF is a community-based program designed to train groups of youth to a) represent contributing factors and consequences (e.g., social… more
Abstract:ABSTRACT: The Air Force has invested considerable resources into collecting and synthesizing radar data for training and testing ATC/R systems. Significant cost savings may be realized if these existing datasets may be leveraged for training new sensors and modalities. Signal Innovations Group… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Invasive aspergillosis (IA) caused by the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus is the most frequent fungal cause of death in immunocompromised patients.

Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) proposal seeks to develop an innovative, inexpensive, and reliable system, called the Tummy-Time Motivator (TTM), to motivate children to improve postural control.Postural control is the foundation for the… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of this Phase I SBIR application is the proof-of-principle for an innovative and reliable subdermal electroencephalogram (EEG) monitor. The EEG is the most widely-used monitor of brain function. Over a fifth of the population suffers from brain… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The SCID is the 'gold standard' for all research-based mental health diagnoses in the United States and for CNS clinical trials worldwide. But, it has been expensive and cumbersome to administer. In Phase I and II of this project we successfully… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The human inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, affect over one million Americans and significant unmet medical needs still exist. Activation of NF??B transcription factors are central events in the initiation and… more
Abstract:Purpose: Students with high functioning autism spectrum disorders (HF-ASD) face unique challenges with social skills and social relationships, often experiencing heightened levels of social isolation and exclusion from social opportunities. Without intervention, these social difficulties can… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION: In the medical device industry, silicone oil is a ubiquitous lubricant used in the manufacture, assembly of medical components, and also as the terminal lubricant for proper device operation. In prefilled syringes, problems arise when micro-droplets of silicone oil migrate into the… more
Abstract:The Vadum Multi-shot Robotic EOD Disrupter (MRED) system builds upon the known effectiveness and versatility of the 12-gauge SD-IED disrupter by adding systems to enable remote loading and firing of multiple shots from EOD robotic platforms. Multi-shot capability allows engagement of one or more… more
Abstract:Many currently deployed and in-development weapons and associated systems require copious amounts of RF (radio frequency) power at many different frequency ranges.

There are several categories such as “By Agency”, “By Year”, “By State” etc.
Select a checkbox within a category to refine your search results.
Each of your selections is listed in the “Narrow Search Filters” bar. You can uncheck these selections to remove them.
Search for Either Criteria
When you select multiple values within a category, the results will include values that match either of the selections.
For example, selecting “2005” and “2007” in the “By Year” category will display results that include either 2005 OR 2007 in the results.
Narrowing the Search Results
You can refine your search results across categories. To narrow down your results, select multiple values across different categories. The results will only include values that match the selections across the categories.
For example, selecting “2005” in the “By Year” category and “NASA” in the “By Agency” category will only display the results that contain both “2005” AND “NASA” in the results.
